With all due respect, if it wasn't for cA, many of us would not be where we are, enjoying this great livelihood/hobby/passion. They literally put the cigar world on the map.

I agree with you and I think most people would, however if you look at how the magazine WAS and how it is now, that is a disappointment. It used to be 80% cigar, now it seems to 10% cigar related.

The Kevin Costner article mentioned cigars in like the last paragraph, and he said he thinks they make a good movie prop. Didn't even mention smoking one or two a week.

Frank, while I do agree to a certain level with your assessment, I think that as a community, we ALL expect MORE from them with regard to our passion. Simply having cigar ratings in your magazine does NOT make a cigar magazine. It's obvious to me and perhaps to others that they have turned their back to the lot of us "afficionados" and have instead turned into a Men's "lifestyle" magazine instead of a "Cigar Afficionado" magazine. The fact that the vast majority of cigar smokers are NOT "high-rollers" who only think about the latest TAG watches, or Porche sportscars really seems lost in their quest for ad revenue. It thoroughly disappoints me as one who wants to hear more about Cigars and the Cigar community.

I have long ago switched to magazines that care about my and my passion - Cigar Magazine, Smoke Magazine & European Cigar Cult Journal and of course spend my time on CigarLive, Stogie Review, Cigar Jack and some other quality sites. I don't often even pick up a copy of CA when I am at my local B&M where it is FREE to read one. Shame on them I say.

I've only gotten a couple of issues and this one was by far the worst, i'm not interested in high dollar watches and cars, i'm only interested in the cigar. but the possibility of a v cut is possible, but i think it's a prop. atleast they didn't do that to tiger in the previous issue

Frank has a point, but Ceedee's post is right on target. It's ironic that the magazine that helped to jumpstart the cigar boom years ago is also the one that has so blatantly turned it's back on us.
